Has there been a radical change to how JPEGS are compressed? For several years I have been producing thumbnail images (240 px wide by 150 px high) of product photos. Under XP with CS2 the files were averaging around 19Kb with quality setting at 7. In my Vista/CS3 environment the same image, saved at the same quality and format is 40Kb. This doubling is fairly consistent and can be replicated. The only thing I can imagine might cause this is if JPEG now have a larger metadata portion than before. Anyone else encountered this?
